Human beings are social creatures by nature. ​Our minds are hardwired to be social. Socializing and engaging with others is almost as crucial as food and water to our survival.

 

In today’s digital world, where communication is as easy as pressing a button, it’s easy to forget why it’s important to talk to people in person. Face-to-face networking creates a memorable, personal impression and lets online acquaintances put a face with your name.

 

“The value of face-to-face networking is being recognized as one of the most powerful tools available for increasing one’s personal exposure, creating meaningful relationships and providing growth opportunities at a personal and professional level.” ‘What people really want is the ability to connect to each other, not to companies.’

 

You may also more easily avoid misunderstandings. Sharing content and exchange words online is easy, but you can’t hear tone of voice, see facial expressions, watch unintentional body language, or observe intentional gestures. Everything is left open to interpretation. When attending in-person networking events, you’re able to read the room, interpret body language, and immediately respond to the signals being sent by the person in front of you. It requires you to be reactive and responsive which leads to more honest and transparent conversations.

 

Another benefit of attending in-person networking events is that you will meet a wider variety of people than you typically will online. The unpredictability of meeting new people in person often results in the most valuable connections. Join us to experience the power of personal networking firsthand.
